This 35-730-533 optical mirror, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a precision parabolic mirror with a diameter of 317.5 mm and an effective focal length (EFL) of 3175 mm. The mirror is made of borofloat33, a high-quality glass commonly used in optical applications due to its excellent transmission properties and chemical resistance.
The mirror's surface is coated with enhanced aluminum, specifically designed for optimal reflection in the 450-650 nm range. This coating ensures high reflectivity, making it ideal for applications that require precise light reflection, such as in imaging systems, beam shaping, or laser applications.
The mirror's parabolic shape (concave) is engineered to focus light rays parallel to the mirror's axis to a single point, the focal point. This property is particularly useful in applications that require the concentration of light, such as in telescopes, solar energy collectors, or optical fiber couplers.
The mirror has a thickness of 54.1 mm at the edge, providing structural rigidity and resistance to deformation. The radius of curvature is 6350 mm, which, combined with the mirror's diameter and EFL, contributes to its excellent optical performance.
